Look at that simple 90s dash and tactile controls.
Do you know how many more EVs would be adopted if they weren't marketing iPads-on-wheels to the masses? It's the biggest hindrance to the industry behind lack of charging infra.

- mikestorrent 7mo agoThe Mazda MX-30 EV was a delightfully different take on the EV - it's very much more like a normal car, less focus on screens, physical controls and nice materials, really a top notch cabin to be in that punches way above its weight in terms of build quality. Pity that the electric engine in it is gutless. It was designed to have a rotary range extender, but not many of those actually shipped. The actual driving experience is really nice anyway; the flappy-paddles on the wheel control EV regen braking aggressiveness, ranging from a very aggressive Tesla-style single-pedal-driving to full freewheeling; the latter of which most EVs will not do without shifting into "neutral", and definitely opens up far more hypermiling potential. I look forward to seeing what they do if they ever come out with something a little more, well, Zoom Zoom.
- carefree-bob 7mo agoTake a look at Volvos. What people need to understand about electric cars is they are heavy. Very heavy. It will never be a roadster, but can be "oh sh*t that was fast!" I think Volvo does a good job of working with that. Mercedes also. Companies known for lighter handling cars like BMW struggle more, IMO.
